Hello
I'm working on a C++ Windows 8 app. I am not able to use the Visual Studio 2012 Designer anymore as it has big problems with user controls: It cannot instantiate them, although there is no problem during runtime (the controls have default constructors).
Here is the actual error message, including the strack trace (remark: I translated some exception messages by myself as I use a German VS):
"Exception: An instance of "MyUserControl" cannot be created.

What to do with that?
